About this ebook

'I read this in two lightning-quick sittings...I absolutely adored it' Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of The Family Upstairs

HAL MUST KEEP GOING OR RISK LOSING EVERYTHING...EVEN HER LIFE.

When Harriet Westaway receives an unexpected letter telling her she's inherited a substantial bequest from her Cornish grandmother, it seems like the answer to her prayers.

There's just one problem - Hal's real grandparents died more than twenty years ago.

Hal desperately needs the cash and makes a choice that will change her life for ever. She knows that her skills as a seaside fortune teller could help her con her way to getting the money.

But once Hal embarks on her deception, there is no going back.

Ratings and reviews

It was an enticing storyline however it did get slow and repetitive at times. I had to finish just to find out what happened but was a struggle to persevere at times.

Second Ruth Ware book I've read both were really different with original plots. I really liked Hal and wanted things to be OK.

Excellent plot - much more enjoyable than It Girl
